The G800 ’ s strength lies primarily in its flight performance . Gulfstream has never produced a faster aircraft or the one with such a long range . It is able to fly up to nearly 13,000 kilometers at a speed of Mach 0.9 , with routes connecting all the key cities on the world map . Lower speeds increase its flight range by more than 1,800 kilometers . According to preliminary estimates by the manufacturer , passengers in this business jet will save up to 1.5 hours flying time . And this is exactly the reason why people are opting for private planes .
From a constructive viewpoint , the G800 takes the very best of other models in the lineup . The fuselage was inherited from the G650ER , while the wing , tail , wingtips and Rolls- Royce Pearl 700 engine came from the G700 . The G800 can accommodate up to 19 passengers , while on night flights , 10 passengers will be able to comfortably fly on sofas and reclining seats . A separate room is provided for the crew members on board the aircraft , where they can sit down and relax during the flight .
Important features for today ’ s flyers include a cutting-edge air purification and air conditioning system , which ensures a full exchange of air in the cabin with fresh air every three minutes . The manufacturer claims that the inflight cabin pressure will be the lowest in the industry , which means that air travel will not be too tiring , an essential feature for frequent business travellers . Finally , the Gulfstream ’ s signature oval windows : G800 will have the largest windows in the lineup . Passengers will be able to enjoy an abundance of natural light in the cabin during daytime flights and breathtaking views of megacities as the sun sets . We look forward to boarding the new Gulfstream in 2024 .
